  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Biblical allusions in the ›Vorauer Alexander‹ are seen as background setting underscoring Alexander’s role in God’s design. This essay will show how these allusions generate paradigmatic structures of equivalence between Alexander and examples from the bible, hence producing contemporaneous effects of similarity and opposition. Regarding Schmid’s theory of non-temporal linking in narration, the analysis of the text brings out a discursive commentary on Alexander. He fails to fit adequately into the equation with Samson. Through the Tyrian woman, a model for reading figurative words in a Christian way, the equivalences give guidance on reading the exchange of symbolic gifts between Darius and Alexander.</jats:p>
